Comment(by scottgprice at comcast.net):

 I also am having this problem with my DCH-3200.  The most frustrating
 thing about this bug is that it makes my DCH unusable, because Myth as a
 whole doesn't detect a problem.  Once it goes into the mode described
 above I get no shows recorded but Myth thinks everything is fine and
 doesn't mark this tuner as "Unavailable".  Because of this I end up with 8
 to 10 empty files of our favorite shows instead of just 1 missed show and
 nothing to give me a clue.  I have even tried using a script to restart
 Myth Backend but this only works about 50% of the time.  The rest of the
 time I have to completely reboot the machine or get behind the furniture
 and unplug the firewire cable.  At least marking the tuner "Unavailable"
 when the data stops would be a big help.  I have had this problem with 2
 different firewire cards using different chip sets.
